Valve Adds 37 New Titles to Steam Greenlight Service

A lot more titles are being released to Steam Greenlight, a feature Valve rolled out around this time last year that allows the user community to vote on and ultimately decide which games get greenlit to debut on the platform. The latest batch includes over three dozen games, which will be released independently in the weeks and/or months ahead as development wraps up and any Steamworks features are integrated.

"Today we’ve Greenlit another batch of 37 titles to advance through Steam Greenlight, and be offered worldwide distribution via Steam," Valve announced. "These titles were selected on the same criteria we have been using in the past: Votes in Greenlight give us a hugely valuable point of data in gauging community interest along with external factors such as press reviews, crowd-funding successes, performance on other similar platforms, and awards and contests to help form a more complete picture of community interest in each title."

The inclusion of Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold is perhaps further proof that old school style adventure gaming isn't dead. Fester Mudd comes from Replay Games, the same developer Al Lowe and company tasked with rebooting Leisure Suit Larry following a successful Kickstarter campaign.
